Trump is obviously “publicly” criticizing his own attorney general

US President
Donald Trump continued his public criticism of his own attorney general, Jeff
Sessions, over Twitter on Tuesday morning.

"Attorney
General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes
(where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!" Trump tweeted.

"Ukrainian
efforts to sabotage Trump campaign - 'quietly working to boost Clinton.' So
where is the investigation A.G. @seanhannity," Trump tweeted earlier in
the morning, apparently attributing the quote to Fox News host Sean Hannity.

As an
Alabama senator, Sessions was among Trump's earliest and highest-profile
supporters. In March, however, he recused himself from any investigation into
connections between Trump's presidential campaign and Russia after it was
revealed that he had failed to disclose at least two meetings he had during the
campaign with Russia's ambassador to the US.

It was later
reported Monday by the news website Axios that Trump was thinking about
bringing former Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York on as attorney general. The
Associated Press also reported that Trump had spoken with his advisers about
firing Sessions.

Axios
reported Tuesday that Trump recently called a political associate and asked,
"What would happen if I fired Sessions?"

The new
White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, on Tuesday seemed to
publicly confirm the president's desire to be rid of his attorney general,
telling radio host Hugh Hewitt "it's pretty apparent that Trump wants
Sessions gone," according to a producer for Hewitt's show.

In a
remarkable admission during an interview with The New York Times last week,
Trump said he would not have chosen Sessions to be attorney general had he
known Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia investigation.

"Sessions
should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he
should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody
else," Trump told The Times.

Responding
to Trump's comments last week, Sessions told reporters he planned to remain in
his role "as long as that is appropriate."

Trump also
on Tuesday took a shot at acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, whose wife, Jill
McCabe, was a Democratic candidate for Virginia state senator in 2015.

"Problem
is that the acting head of the FBI & the person in charge of the Hillary
investigation, Andrew McCabe, got $700,000 from H for wife!" Trump
tweeted.

But as NPR
notes, Jill McCabe actually received money from a PAC overseen by Gov. Terry
McAuliffe of Virginia, a friend of the Clintons. Additionally, McCabe was never
in charge of any investigation into Hillary Clinton.
